Bonnes résolutions et quiz d'histoire


          1. Happy new year !


Since, in France, it is acceptable to offer New Year wishes until the end of January, I'm still on time!

All joking aside, here is what we did for the first class of the year 2020 :
 I made this handout using images and descriptions from documents found at ISLCollective (created by silvialefevre, freedombird and sylviepieddaignel).

The first page of the handout presents a list of possible New Year resolutions. The second one has images that relate to the resolution list.  Working in pairs, the students asked each-other, about each image, if they wanted or were going to make that resolution.

We ended the class by sharing our favorite resolutions, which I found very inspiring!


          2. Who Am I? Famous Names in French History



I found this series of portraits and quick descriptions of well-known characters in French History on the blog "La classe de Mallory". I loved the idea and decided to adapt it in the form of a game we could play in class. I hope it was fun!

My original Keynote document didn't export well to Powerpoint but I was able to create a pdf version of it and, to my surprise, even the links work (on my Mac, at least). If you'd like to play on your own as we did in class, I'm also adding the name list we used.

If you liked this game, you might also enjoy similar quizzes I found online. They are in French but geared towards foreign language speakers. You'll probably recognize many characters from our class game!

You might also be interested in this series of lessons  about the French Revolution. The lessons are in English and designed for kids, but they still contain a lot of information and can be useful as an overview of the topic. Each lesson has some activities (quiz, crossword puzzle, etc.) at the end.
